Some of my skills

From leading with Agile Project Management methodology to simply just organizing group activities, I know what it takes to be a positive, influential teammate who will lead projects and get things done.

With titles published on PlayStation 4, Steam, itch.io, Google Play and the App Store, I have a broad range of publishing skillsets such as company creation, networking, profile organization, website development, social media management, and advertising.

To me, video game development is the most important form of art in the current century because it is a combined effort of talents and creativity from multiple disciplines that allows people to play inside the imaginations of others. My joy is working alongside these talented individuals and making these imaginations come to life!

Now this one's for fun. Of course I'm a gamer! Here's some of my favorite games and series of all time: The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Okami, Persona, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Quest, Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, Dark Cloud, Twisted Metal, Time Splitters, Silent Hill, Rocket League, Overwatch, and so much more.
